Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union
Impact of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement: Economic and Social Research Institute
Dr. Alan Barrett:
I do not know if we have information on the specific trade roles and whether there is sustainability enhancement. While we have talked about the positive growth of trade on the island of Ireland, there is also a diversion of trade away from the United Kingdom. Some of the benefit that might be gained through more condensed trade might be lost because we are not trading as cohesively in terms of the two islands together.
